Born and raised in Western suburbs of Sydney, Selasie grew up on a heavy diet of reggae and old school R&B thanks to his mother, who would play Peter Tosh, Aaliyah and Outkast records at home in Wiley Park. But it wasn’t until he was introduced to a rapper at church, who told him how he could record at home with a basic set-up, that he began to realise his musical ambitions. “I just set it up at home. My laptop was on the floor, and I’d be holding the mic. And I used to find instrumentals online and just do covers” he says.
